Bill looked at the general for a few moments. `` Yeah you and everybody else within the realm that still have a shred of decency. Remember Philip Roth, I am not my brother ; we tried it his way and look what it got us. No this time we do it my way ! As you well know that will necessitate a sin of a lot of rip ! ''

The General 's face was concerned a moment then he began to smile broadly. `` Good ! It 's about time we returned to the kingdom we were during your father 's reign ! Lord knows none of this political Irish bull would consume been going on. Do n't get me wrong I loved your Brother and faithfully served him and the crown. It was just that his insurance policy came at a time when the realm was still unstable after your Father-God passed. ''

'' I know old admirer, I miss him fiercely also. '' Bill said, a moment of sadness showing on his face. `` I remember when I was younger. The conflict the kingdom had, to try and reclaim the savage planets. I intend to re-unite all the worlds like he had. This kingdom was great in his day and I intend to make it that way again ! I also intend to not let the planets be lost to the madness of isolation again ! ''

superior general Philip Roth sighed, and then his face brightened. `` I was right ! You are much like your father, with a touch of your chum in you. ''

billhook 's forefront snapped around to stare at the full general, `` I fail to see where you think I am a touch like my brother ! ''

Smiling the superior general said, `` Had it been your father no subject what, he 'd have ripped the chest of both those you employed to tatter. No I think you are a lot like your forefather but I also think you are far more intelligent. It appears that you do not reserve the feline side of our make up to completely rule your thinking. ''

'' I thank you for the compliment Roth. '' Here Bill stared at the general 's fount a second. `` At least I think it 's a compliment. I hope I do n't regret not correcting you later Roth ! '' Then with a sigh circular shook his head. `` I have a long and hard route ahead. I am afraid I am going to be leaning on your experience more than than I had at first of all thought. ''

The General 's face was suddenly shining with pride. `` I live to dish the crown and the king. I have been serving this imperial family a retentive time and Hope to continue to for some time still. As always it is a great purity to serve. ''

A Brobdingnagian smile lit up Bill 's nerve as a thought came to him. `` You know, there have n't been any knight in the kingdom in a recollective clock time. '' The general 's face showed a sudden sadness at the thinking. `` I think that after I am crowned I should chastise that. What do you imagine superior general ? ''

General Roth thought a moment, `` I think that would be a splendid melodic theme ! As you said it has been far too long since there were any. Do you have any candidates in mind sir ? ''

flier got a serious look on his nerve thinking a import then he turned to the General. `` As a matter of fact I do, actually only four at the moment. ''

'' Only four, '' The general asked a mistrustful flavour coming to his face.

'' Oh yes ! '' measure said a perplexing feel on his face. `` Though at the moment I only know the location of one of them. I believe with their avail we could avoid the collapse of the realm. ''

The superior general was nodding his assent but was still looking at flyer with suspicion. `` Yes I agree if such as you said exist. So just pray tell, who are these amazing four someone ? ``

'' Why superior general Philip Milton Roth, '' measure said a extensive smile coming to his font. `` I thought it was obvious ! ''

'' Forgive me sir I must be getting old, may I have the names of these amazing four that I may meet them ? '' Roth said still a piffling fishy.

'' I believe you think back my father 's old elite guard ? '' Bill said.

'' Yes sir, considering I was a extremity of them ! '' The superior general said slowly.

'' I intend to knight all four of you ! As of right now you are the only ones I consider to be of a trustworthy character reference. '' Bill said as he turned as he no longer learn the general following him.

general Roth was standing line of descent still a look on disbelief on his face. `` Sir ! This is an honor that I can not accept. I do n't think any of the others will neither. To be a knight of the crown ... '' Roth was ineffective to displace the jolt of bank bill 's countersign still ringing through his intellect.

Sighing placard walked back to Roth, `` You four are the just ones that I feel that I can truly confidence. Well the Lieutenant Colonel and my mates plus you four. That 's not much of a résumé for success. I need all of you if I am going to stay alive and re-unite the realm. ''

Both Glenna and Twitty who had remained quiet and on sentry duty both were now smiling. `` Was there any doubtfulness of our commitment ? '' Glenna said appearing to be hurt.

'' Really Federal Reserve note after what I have been through protecting you ? You insult me and my sister mate ! If you would care to see a examination of her or my resolve then I suggest you try to stop us ! '' Twitty said as they both began to stalk toward Bill.

A very across-the-board smile appeared on throwaway 's face as he held up his fur covered hand. `` I would never doubt either of you ! '' Bill purred toward both his mates.

Twitty and Glenna both smiled as they began to lap up Federal Reserve note 's face, both of them also purring. `` It is good checkmate ; it would n't do to have you injured and unable to perform your husbandly duties ! '' Twitty said as she rubbed her typeface against Bill 's.

'' Yes, I for one would have to do engagement with my sister mate for the honor of being with you first ! Do not get hurt or killed ; it would greatly displease the both of us ! Then I think that we might also have to hurt you ! '' Glenna said as she smiled at Twitty in all earnestness.

Bill 's middle went wide ; it had been a farseeing meter since he 'd been household. He 'd forgotten just how fierce a Xendran female person felt about her mate. The mere fact that she would pop another or die trying that tried to steal her fellow. In his case he had two Ilex paraguariensis, not nameless to be practiced by the royal kinsfolk. Snapping his finger he remembered he had to find his brother 's wife.

Turning he looked at Roth, `` I just remembered Roth. Is my brother 's wife Niaco still alive ? I must utter to her before I ascend the throne. ''

'' I figured as a good deal. Yes sir, she is very much alive. Though she has n't all the ability that your brother had she is still trying to hold the realm 'til you ascend. '' Roth told him.

commodity I ... '' Bill started.

'' better half, '' Both Twitty and Glenna said as the fell to their human knee before him.

Glenna looked at Twitty who nodded then Glenna continued. `` We both know it is the custom to call for your brother 's married woman into the family. We both knew her briefly, and we consider it an honor to welcome her into our group. Whether or not you take her as a mate, she will be welcome ! ''

Bill 's eyes opened wide now THIS was an extremely pleasant surprise ! Though he was going to ask her to get together the family for protection, at the bit he had no real purpose to pack her as a mate. He also had met her, though she was a pleasant female she was by no means the type that he wanted as a liveliness teammate.

'' I thank you both this will make thing far easier when it comes time to come up the throne. Though I wish to see her as soon as potential I think we need go after the betrayer first. Is the third castle still under scan and observation ? '' Bill asked of Philip Roth.

A slim down but grim smile crossed his mouth as he replied, `` Yes sir, as of yet it appears that they are still waiting. ``

Bill thought a moment ; it was obvious that his Uncles had memory access to the royal stag batteries. Scratching his chin flier thought they might have seriously upgraded their shields also. Turning to the General Bill told him, `` I want you to bring out the devastator ! ''

Both Twitty and Glenna gasp, though they had never seen it, they had heard of its power. Roth 's face went almost ashen White. `` Sir, the last time your father used it he leveled an stallion city ! ''

'' secure ! Perhaps my damn Uncle will know that I am grievous ! How many scout group do you have now that we can trust ? '' Bill asked.

Sighing, the general pulled out a comp and looked. `` Not many I am afraid. At live count there were only ten one thousand. ''

'' Yes, you 're right hand that 's not a lot with the campaign that we are about to start. I am not really a fan of subterfuge. It always leaves a bad tasting in my mouth. It appears though that 'til we can fatten the ranks, we may experience to resort to it, though I am hoping that it is only for a unawares while ! '' note spit out.

They were moving out of the urban center towards a little known bunker when note 's communicator went off. Snatching it up broadsheet clicked it on, `` report Lieutenant Colonel ! ''

'' Sir ! I have successfully cleared central command. I am in the unconscious process of filling the spots that were left open. '' Growling angrily the Lieutenant Colonel continued, `` it was almost half the of all responsibility transformation. Sir, those that were taken prisoner ? Suggestions ? ''

Here Bill smiled it was time to see just how devoted this policeman was. `` Were they in on the patch to kill me, '' growled Bill.

The police lieutenant Colonel hissed and spat out, `` Yes sir, all but one of them ! I had all but the leader taken to the cells. ''

'' Let me see him, '' Bill said. He then hissed when he saw the older male major on the CRT screen. `` This was one of the cause I made you a higher officer. Execute him ! '' Bill hissed.

The Lieutenant Colonel smiled a twisted smile and nodded. Turning he punched his clenched fist through the male 's chest grabbing the male 's beating heart and yanking it violently out. Bill smiled when the male person screamed then dropped to the level numb. `` Done sir, with pleasure !

Bill smiled, his sense about the unseasoned officer had been right. `` The rest period, action them also. The one that was n't involved, if there were n't any killing purpose toward me then release them. If they were ordered to, then promote them but have them swear loyalty and recognize that to break it means an instant death time ! ''

'' Yes sir ! It will be as you say ! '' Turning the man barked out parliamentary procedure, `` Corporal, bring her up here now ! Have all that are in the cells executed now ! Any agency essential ! ``

Bill watched as a beautiful Cheetah Clan female was brought before the police lieutenant Colonel. `` It appears that you are being allowed to live, for the import ! ''

Bowing low when she saw that Bill was watching she replied, `` Thank you Commander Mikos ; is that you King chosen. ''

'' Do you call for the oath of loyalty to the power chosen ? '' Mikos growled out low.

With her head still lowered she said, `` I would care nothing better than to sir ! ''

banknote smiled he was actually starting to like this female. Though she was secure she was also reverential, a hell of a lot more than almost.

greenback spoke up before Mikos could. `` Do you, '' Bill looked to see that she was just a private. That was about to interchange, if what he read was right she had disobeyed an order from the male person that Mikos had just killed. `` Do you sergeant-at-law Theta ; give your every waking moment to the greater good of the realm ? To suffice your king and the people as long as you may serve ? Do you take on that to break this trust means that an instant demise penalization will be placed on your psyche ? ''

'' Yes I do your Lordship. I know that you are not crowned yet but I already consider you the king sir ! '' Theta replied a looking at of growing pridefulness on her face.

Mikos was amazed, he had thought she was a double-crosser and nothing but a traitor. The Billie Jean King had a inferno of am lot better sense of Xendrans than he ever would. The mere fact that the mogul elect considered her as worthy, as he did Mikos, spoke volumes to Mikos.

grinning Mikos looked at Theta closely for a moment ; she was a handsome unseasoned female person. He was at a point now he could carry a second mate. Thinking he nodded the Chartreux tribe and the Cheetah clan had n't many tie beam and there had only been one pairing in the finish two 100. As Mikos stroked his sensory hair he thought yes it might benefit both of their kin group.

Sergeant Theta suddenly snapped her head up to gaze at measure. `` Did you just promote me sir ? ''

flyer smiled a offbeat grinning at her, `` I believe that me calling you police sergeant does intend that. Now do n't start up on this you do n't deserve it. I saw what you did for me and my phratry. You could have been executed by the Major had he suspected that you were the one to cause the fire to miss the ship ! '' At the sudden realisation that throwaway knew what she had done she just nodded her acquiescence.

'' You are the rightful heir to the commode. It was the only justly thing I could see to do ! '' Theta replied.

Bill nodded, `` I need far more like you in the new authorities. Hell in the realm. I have a suggestion, if you know of More that feel like you do. get them to the attention of Mikos. Then he will ferret out any double-crosser. Those left I will babble to. It seems as good as I am at seeing masses for what they can be. Mikos is just as beneficial at finding treasonist. ''

'' It would be an honor to influence with you both Sir. '' Theta replied.

Something had been bugging Bill though he could n't seem to get passed whatever was blocking his mentation. Suddenly vizor sat up and snapped his fingers. `` serjeant I am afraid that the rank I promoted you wo n't do. No I do n't think many will listen to you. '' Here Bill was lost in thought a instant then said, `` Yes I think that will do far better ! Instead of a serjeant-at-law let 's say we make you a Sergeant First Class, I think more will hear to you now ! ''

Theta 's rima oris dropped open it was only her duty, she had n't done it for reward. It was just the proper thing to do ! `` But ... but ... Sir ! That is a sum of six social rank I just jumped ! No one will listen to a young female Sergeant First category ! ''

'' So ... you are telling me, the king elect that, I am wrong ? '' account said a boring developing grinning starting to pussyfoot on his lips.

Sergeant Theta snapped to attention, `` No sir I would never presume to do such a matter ! ''

'' Good, Mikos I want you and Theta to get more personnel department in there as soon as potential. As of right hand now I am making it our combat central office. I feel the coming week will be bad. We need a place that is ensure. As of rightfulness now this is the only place. Even the palace is n't safe though, '' here Bill scratched at his half human chin. `` I aim to modify that as soon as possible. ''

Clicking off handbill thought well at to the lowest degree I have a few that are hope worthy. `` We need to move soon sir. My contacts at the last castling we left are detecting movement towards the backrest. The devastator was moved while you were in word sir. It appears we are n't that far from the palace. '' The General told him, his Leopard clan spots seeming to grow a little brighter at the thought of the coming fight.

peak nodded as they climbed into the same transport and headed off for the castle. Within minutes they were landing beside the huge energy canyon. measure smiled when he saw that it had been kept in such skilful form,

'' Alright, pedestal by everyone I have a feeling we are about to use it ! '' Opening up a distribution channel flier stated. `` To those in Castle Trong, you have two spectons to cede the two-timer, my Uncle before I destroy your pathetic defense lawyers. If you do I will save all there and leave you to your aliveness. ''

There was a bird of static as a familiar articulation came out of the com. `` I doubt you have the catgut to do anything you little bastard ! ''

'' Ah ! I thought it was your putrid odor I smelled when I was hunting ! capitulation you son of a bitch ! '' Bill growled.

'' You are the son of a bitch ! That whore of a female that your father took to his bed ! What you are is far to a lower place me and my brother of genuine royal blood ! '' visor 's Uncle hissed at him.

Bill smiled ; he 'd get a line this before more than he wanted to admit. His father had taken a mate from one of the outer worlds of the realm. She was a princess on one of the last public that had joined with the realm. She had taken many insults before his father has stopped that with a few highschool ranking capital punishment.

A smiling crept upon his lips he barely remembered her. He 'd do it the stories his sometime brother used to treat him with about her. Suddenly he snapped out of his visit to the past. `` fountainhead Uncle, I may be beneath you in your obscene point of opinion, but I am next for the crapper and as such I have had you declared a double-dealer. hand it up before I destroy you and all that are there ! ''

'' Ha, '' came the defiant shout of his Uncle.

'' mulct Uncle. If you will release your scanners this way out front. You 'll see I have the devastator cannon. I have it already primed and should be quick to ruin your buckler in a moment. What ? No smart retort ? '' Bill snarled.

'' You would n't dare use it you do n't have the moxie to ... '' his uncle tongue back at him.

Clenching his paws, his hook springing forth many were backing away as Bill roared. `` I am tired of the Trygve Lie that you and your brother have been spreading ! Fire the damn affair ! '' neb roared even louder.

There was a low whine then a sudden buzzing with the feeling of ozone as the machine discharged. As the vitality clap hit the shield you could see them struggle to repel. A sudden explosion below the ground had Bill smiling that would be the main generator. `` Another sir, '' the superior general asked with a smile.

'' Half power ! Take out the entire front wall ! '' Bill shouted as there was another humble whimper then the smell of ozone as the weapon system discharged and took out 500 meters of the figurehead rampart. Clicking on the com broadside growled menacingly, `` Well you son of a kick ! ? Are you coming out or do I let to completely put down this place ? If you do I suggest you bring no weapons. I have a thousand troop waiting with a pauperization to down something. You have a specton ! ''

There was a minute there that Bill thought they were going to make to conflict it out. Then respective males were bringing another older male tied up, out through the maw in the wall. The closer they got the louder the tied up male person was complaining. `` Let me go damn it ! He is a faint silly fool."stopping in front of Bill they threw the male on the reason at Bill 's base.

'' We have brought the traitor, we wish to return. We want no persona in this or with him. '' A Danton True Young tabby cat male told nib.

'' You may go and repair ; I hold no malice against you or yours. Though I might ask you to help the realm. Can I depend on the clans here ? '' Bill asked the four Male in front of him.

'' Are you this king elect that this one was speaking of ? The weak minded fool ? I 'd say sir you are neither of those. '' All four males got down on a articulatio genus. `` Yes Billie Jean Moffitt King chosen, you can depend on our clan. If as you say you will leave us to our animation then we will owe you a debt. '' All four nodded as did Bill then they arose and began the way back to the castling.

'' Really sir, '' the general started. `` You really think that wise ? ''

'' Yes I do, I left them to live not to die. I told them if they turned him over I would. I keep my word I feel that one 's word is more sanctified than anything. '' Bill told an amazed superior general.

'' Your word ! You are aught ! aught but the son of a whore ... '' beak 's Uncle started then found it firmly to verbalise hanging in the air with Bill 's paw around his throat. A vast smile came to placard 's expression, `` heedful Uncle Cornelius I might be tempted to kill you fast if you keep this up ! ''

'' You have n't the ... '' Bill 's Uncle started as throwaway began to tweet harder 'til Cornelius 's question flopped to one side.

'' Ah ! Blessed silence. '' Throwing his uncle into the transport notice told them, `` Take this piece of garbage to a cell in command. ''
